Safety Culture in Air Traffic Management A White Paper
- Share to:
This White Paper is built on the collaboration between EUROCONTROL, the FAA, and a number of ANSPs with a common area of interest, namely Safety Culture. Safety Culture is the way safety is perceived, valued and prioritised in an organisation. It reflects the real commitment to safety at all levels in the organisation. Safety Culture is not something you ‘get’ or buy, it is something an organisation has. Safety Culture can therefore be positive, negative or neutral. Its essence is in what people believe concerning the importance of safety, including what they think their peers, superiors and leaders really believe about safety’s priority. Although this may sound ‘fuzzy’, it can have a direct impact on safe performance. If someone believes that safety is not really important, or can be sacrificed temporarily, then workarounds, cutting corners, or making unsafe decisions or judgements will be the result.
